In 'A New Paradigm', Alain Touraine analyzes how modernization has transformed society, displacing old economic and social models. In a globalized world, where individualism is increasingly prominent, Touraine explores the new cultural concerns that emerge, such as the role of minorities, sexuality, and the resurgence of religions. This book invites reflection on our daily experience in a globalized universe and how we become protagonists of our own destiny in a constantly changing society.
Alain Touraine was a French sociologist. He was research director at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, where he founded the Centre d'étude des mouvements sociaux. Touraine was an important figure in the founding of French sociology of work after World War II and later became a sociologist of social movements, particularly the May 68 student movement in France and the Solidarity trade-union movement in communist Poland.
